"I urge you to remember that Americans often grow impatient when they cannot see light at the end of the tunnel -when policies do not overnight usher in a new order. But politics is not magic." — President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966 "Similar to President John, what is important now is technology, and we can see the light in the tunnel. We can get better outcomes for equitable cancer care, for every person. We have the capabilities to provide everyone access to high-quality care, lower the risk for hospitalizations, and make it, so the system is there for you so that we manage cancer care."

We have all been affected by cancer in one way or another. Earlier cancer detection improves survival, clinical outcomes, and quality of life. Access to screening for earlier cancer detection needs to be available for everyone.

"Access to medical care should not be a privilege, but a human right. A country with a fair system cannot allow these inequities to remain."
